Peyton engineered SEVEN game winning drives in the 4th quarter(would've been eight if it weren't for his defense in week 3 against the Jags). Peyton brought his team back from 3-4, and brought his team back FOUR times after being down by 10 or more points...that's an NFL record. Also, in a game where the Colts had to win to clinch a Playoff spot, they were down by 14 points and Peyton comes out and completes 29 of 34 passes, 364 yards, and 3 TD's with a 141 passer rating. He played magnificent down the stretch, while Brees was inconsistent throwing 2 or 3 INT's in games where they had to win to save their season.

Drew can't control the defense. He has led the Saints to touchdowns only to have the defense **** things up and lose the game. With that being said, there's no way that Drew would've won the award and it's not a big deal(to me at least) that he didn't win it.

Same could be said for Rivers.

Like you, I honestly don't care. Individual awards really do nothing for me at this point.

Why do you call everyone homers?

dude, what claim do I need to back up? its a known fact that the MVP award across all of the major sports, is a statistically driven award, if it wasnt then the only people eligable would be players on playoff/championship teams. Its not like your going to look at a losing team and say well they are 5-11 but without him they would be 2-14?


Im not saying manning doesnt deserve it, the definition of the award makes him the #1 candidate, but we can simply say that every single year as even last year and the year before, who was more valuable to their team than manning? obviously not brady who won last year as without him they were still playoff caliber. This year the bradys and Ladanian tomlinsons aint around and there are has beens and up and comers taking their teams to the playoffs and Manning has the biggest name. Thats why he is the MVP.

I'm sure someone's touched upon it, but Drew threw an interception in 7 of the Saints 8 losses, multiple interceptions in 5 of those losses, and posted a QB rating in the 60s in 6 of the losses.

Do you mean the crazy stats, considering you said it was a stat driven award? If so, I'd think that Drew Brees qualifies for this, and he should have beem named the MVP. Without him, the Saints wouldn't even be a .500 team.
